Tom Brady Reveals Current Mindset On Coming Out Of Retirement

Tom Brady sent shockwaves throughout the NFL when he announced following the Bucs’ loss in the Divisional Round that he was retiring after an impeccable 22-year run.

But in the aftermath of the initial announcement, Brady has left the door open to come out of retirement at some point in the future.

This week, Tom Brady opened up on the possibility of coming out of retirement for the right situation. And while he still won’t commit to a future away from the NFL, Brady admitted that he’s currently content with his situation.

Jim Gray, the host of the Let’s Go! podcast asked Brady if he was going to stay in shape to leave open the possibility of returning for the 2022 season.

You know I love those key lime pies, too,” Brady said in response. “That’s my dessert of choice. So there’ll definitely be a few more of those and I’m super content and happy with how I feel in my decision. All you can do is take it day by day, nothing’s promised for us. I’m gonna do things I really enjoy and spend time with people that I really enjoy spending time with.”

“So the future is bright. I look forward to the opportunities that are ahead and I look forward to speaking with everyone again next year. So I’ve had a great time doing the show. We’ll keep it going and thank you to everyone for their amazing support, thanks for another great NFL football season. And I hope it just keeps getting better and better from here.”

Tom Brady is content with his retirement decision.

It’s everyone else who isn’t.

Tom Brady initially turned heads on the same podcast when asked earlier in the month if he’d ever consider returning to the football field.

“You know, I’m just gonna take things as they come,” Brady said on the Feb. 7 podcast. “I think that’s the best way to put it and I don’t think anything, you know, you never say never. At the same time I know that I’m very, I feel very good about my decision. I don’t know how I’ll feel six months from now, [inaudible] change, it most likely won’t. But I try to make the best possible decision I can in the moment, which I did this last week. And, again, I think it’s not looking to reverse course, I’m definitely not looking to do that. But in the same time I think you have to be realistic that you never know what challenges there are gonna be in life. Again, I loved playing. I’m looking forward to doing things other than playing.”

It’s hard to imagine that someone in their mid-40s would come out of retirement after an extended period of time away from the game. But if anyone could do it, it would be Tom Brady.
